Parse `Cookie` header and populate `req.cookies` with an object keyed by the
cookie names. Optionally you may enable signed cookie support by passing a
`secret` string, which assigns `req.secret` so it may be used by other
middleware.
## Installation
```sh
$ npm install cookie-parser
```
## API
```js
var express = require('express')
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')
var app = express()
app.use(cookieParser())
```
### cookieParser(secret, options)
- `secret` a string or array used for signing cookies. This is optional and if
not specified, will not parse signed cookies. If a string is provided, this
is used as the secret. If an array is provided, an attempt will be made to
unsign the cookie with each secret in order.
- `options` an object that is passed to `cookie.parse` as the second option. Se
[cookie](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cookie) for more information.
- `decode` a function to decode the value of the cookie
### cookieParser.JSONCookie(str)
Parse a cookie value as a JSON cookie. This will return the parsed JSON value
if it was a JSON cookie, otherwise, it will return the passed value.
### cookieParser.JSONCookies(cookies)
Given an object, this will iterate over the keys and call `JSONCookie` on each
value, replacing the original value with the parsed value. This returns the
same object that was passed in.
### cookieParser.signedCookie(str, secret)
Parse a cookie value as a signed cookie. This will return the parsed unsigned
value if it was a signed cookie and the signature was valid. If the value was
not signed, the original value is returned. If the value was signed but the
signature could not be validated, `false` is returned.
The `secret` argument can be an array or string. If a string is provided, this
is used as the secret. If an array is provided, an attempt will be made to
unsign the cookie with each secret in order.
### cookieParser.signedCookies(cookies, secret)
Given an object, this will iterate over the keys and check if any value is a
signed cookie. If it is a signed cookie and the signature is valid, the key
will be deleted from the object and added to the new object that is returned.
The `secret` argument can be an array or string. If a string is provided, this
is used as the secret. If an array is provided, an attempt will be made to
unsign the cookie with each secret in order.
## Example
```js
var express = require('express')
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')
var app = express()
app.use(cookieParser())
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
// Cookies that have not been signed
console.log('Cookies: ', req.cookies)
// Cookies that have been signed
console.log('Signed Cookies: ', req.signedCookies)
})
app.listen(8080)
// curl command that sends an HTTP request with two cookies
// curl http://127.0.0.1:8080 --cookie "Cho=Kim;Greet=Hello"
```
